Legislation

This section includes information on the state and city
legislation dealing with immigration. The purpose is to facilitate the understanding
of the legislation currently in place as well as the legislative efforts that
are being supported within the state.

Judges, lawyers and child advocates may refer to the guide on
immigrant juvenile treatment in Florida. Created by Wendi Adelson (2007) at
the University of Miami School of Law, the guide gives an "overview of the
process of applying for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status in Florida."
